- Have you ever wondered if you have a talent for music? Chances are, you do! In this video, I give you a small test to see if you have what it takes to learn to play by ear. We also learn a C major and G7 chord. Let me know how you do in the comments! More videos soon!
I have watched far too many amateur videos on RUclips. I don't know if you have been trained in Media presentation but you are a natural. Smart, intuitive, and to the point. You are a breath of fresh air.
A demo tape sent to any news organization should get you a callback. Best of luck!
C and G7 really working great for many songs. With these two chords we can play around really.
Thanks Aimee.
You have a fun personality. The way you smile and speak I always half wonder if you're just pulling my leg with everything you say 😜
Thanks David. 😆
Hey I’m a David as well, gotta take this girl out ona night 🍽
It not a dating site.
After watching so many instruction videos which I don't understand, or are just so technical and boring I can't follow, I watch your lessons which are fun, informative in a way many of us beginners or musically challenged can understand presented in a simple way. You also are very likeable. Blessings and thank you :)
Lol ive been a guitar player for 34 years and i honestly just relearned someting that is so useful. Thank you
It's strange how the mind works when it comes to music. One person becomes a well known composer like Mozart, while another cannot carry a tune in a bucket. Years ago, I stood next to a young guy in our choir. He was one of the bucket guys, but it fascinated me that he DID NOT KNOW that he could not sing. He had two notes, and he alternated between them. Sometimes, both notes were in the key of the song we were singing, and often, neither note was in the key. He could follow the lyrics (we all used folders to hold our sheet music) but he was completely oblivious to the music all around him. He thought, from all appearances, that he was doing the same thing as everyone else. In his head, all was well, and his aural processing center completely failed to alert him that he was not making commensurate sounds. Truly, we are wonderfully and mysteriously made.
The same with boxing
Your example is so rare though, I've met almost no one who can just sing two notes. Most people have some capacity for pitch discrimination or they wouont enjoy music.
@@wiltisdabest While he was the most egregious example in 26 years of choir, there have been others who cannot sing the correct note, while surrounded by others who ARE singing on pitch. So, perhaps it is not so rare to be unable to connect what the ear is hearing to the voice via Broca's Area.
Thank you so much Aimee for making these videos. Your'e doing a great service for musicians. Blessings !!!
I love how you make videos that cater to so many levels of musical ability!
We love you, Aimee!! You are the best!!❤️
Love this piano by ear! Want more!
Ok, good challenge. Fun homework! I think I can do it. Thank you Aimee.
Another excellent presentation and lesson. An inscrutable mix of up-front exacting musical standards, (with a decent dose of the challenging and even confrontational), but on the other hand (from other vids) deep insight and empathy into the "creative life". If I had a teacher who confronted me like this, yeah I'd be pretty intimidated. It's quite a combo... It's different.
Bless this video bless this series bless everyone involved with this channel
Everywhere I’ve looked to try and learn piano just didn’t click for me, like, it was either WAY too far ahead for me, or I felt like I was being patronized
Thank you Aimee for making learning piano fun again ❤️❤️❤️
Well, I'll be... Thanks for taking the test with me, Denise. Aimee, you have a wonderful, encouraging teaching style. I will certainly be back.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
So fun... thank you Denise & Aimee
After so many video i watched, this is the most informative and simple.
This the best simple keyboard lesson on chords I have understood. Thanks Aimee
i enjoyed the subtle introduction to the foundation of chords and progressions to the audience in such a fun way keep up the good work
burninturntable thanks!!
I’m a music teacher. This is AWESOME!!! Super intuitive and awesome for kids❤️❤️thanks
Thanks!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Aimee, this is a great video how to simplify music accompaniment with just 2 chords and a perfect simple test! If you found C & G7 chords by intuition that is great. I think, it would be also good to elaborate why it works for many songs as your video does not explain. Here is my analysis:
I think the secret comes from using "sort of odd number notes" I, III, V, with C chord & "sort of even number notes": II, IV, I-1, I-3 with G7 so it is in the same range as C but covers all "the other notes" needed for any song. Why G note is not clashing with any other note that is part of both chords? I think it is because in C major scale G note is perfect 5th and perfect 5th is used in many instruments like Bagpipes & Hurdy-Gurdy as a drone that is played all the time in the background of any note of the melody. So basically any note in any melody in C major will either be in C chord (C E G) or G7 (G B D F) so the only note missing from the scale is A. But note A still sounds harmonic with C chord due to A scale being a relative minor to C major scale.
I think this is how beginners should be learning with experiencing music with C & G7 chords and having fun because it works and explaining why it works in the next phase.
Well done!
Thank you. I understood most of what you said, I think.
Great lesson. Thx.
Aimee you post superb content!
Brilliant tutorial! Will definitely check out the rest of your videos
iTomAnks thanks! Glad you liked it!
I-m an amature. love yore perspective.
Aimee and Denise, you are both so adorable! Great lesson too! This was helpful!
I liked the video. For me it isn't so much ear training as it is a good simple introduction on harmonizing a melody using I and V chords. I am always looking for videos on harmonizing as I am so bad at it. Hope you make a part 2 and beyond.
+rys61se I have a whole playlist of ear training videos. I hope they're helpful. Thanks so much for your comment.
I also have a playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLmlGBy-xaGeUyoGvwlq4PkfR3wVvfkBJ3
but it only contains other peoples videos...
Thanks for your help
Being able to play exactly what you hear and being able tosing on key are two very different things. I suck at singing, but I can play anything I hear (in the simple version ofc)
This is a great, simple lesson.
Wow she is so charming thank for the course!
This is SUPER good for beginners like me. This is very understandable. And yet, I'm more interested in the framing of box triads, and proper fingering. Am I moving too fast??
This video made me realize I can play jazz rhythm changes by ear
Can you do the G7 chord at a snail's pace so I can get it?
Nice video! Keep up the quality content!
Luv your channel
I’m not going to mention how beautiful you are but I’ll say I’ve always said I could never play by ear although I am a descent singer. Been watching some ear interval training vids the last couple days and I’m still a work in progress but I believe now with practice I could. Thanks for very helpful tip. I’ll watch your next video.🌹
That's a very useful tutorial! Brilliant really!
Thanks a lot Aimee. I passed the test. If I try, I think I can learn to play by ear.
Hygggggbghh
Mhjhjhnjbbbvhhhhuuhhghhjjkjkilklk
Kikjkkikoopppppppoo
Am I the only one or do all pianists have this positive, wholesome character like Josh Wright
where is part 2? This was great!
Part 1 is great, thank you. Trying to find Part 2! Is it there somewhere?
From my RUclips homepage, click on playlists.
Interesting... I feel it
LMAO. Rudolph the freeking reindeer! That cracked me up! He will defiantly be freeking if he has to much magic corn! (:
I just found this video. Six year later but, did you ever do a complete series for ear training. Do you teach beginner piano online?
There are a few more. Just search for my name and “ear training” in the search bar
Humming works better than singing. Especially if you can't sing.. listen to u tube of what you want to play hum it and find key then play along. Try it it works.
Thanks Amy I actually did the play by ear I am so excited. Thanks
Good on you ... Just learnt what is singing with the tune !
I really like your teaching style! 😁👍🏾
Thank you.
Lovely very simple tips keep it up
Great way to start ear training! Here’s my question: What if I failed the “can you sing in tune” test? The student needs to be able to sing in tune for the I/V7 chord exercise to work, so if they can’t do that, then that problem has to be solved first, right? How do we address the possible causes of an inability to sing in tune or match a pitch reliably? (Thanks for this and all your videos; I’ve really been enjoying and learning from them!)
Check out my video called “he’s says he’s tone deaf” and see if it’s helpful! ;)
Aimee Nolte Music Thank you for your reply!! I watched the other video and found that your student said many of the same things about himself that I find in me (good call recommending it): being unsure whether my voice is on or off, being thrown off by different timbres, finding it easier to practice with a teacher than alone, struggling with connecting theory to the ear. You came up with some great advice and ways to practice, so he can train his ear via the piano. Dealing with the voice will still be another matter, for him and for me. So we’ll have to keep at it.
I was concerned about using the piano for the melody instead of voice because if I am playing a note on the piano, then I know I want a chord with that note in it, and it leads to the issue the student mentioned, using logic and theory knowledge to choose the chord instead of using just the ear. (But doing it on the piano first, as a way to help the ear develop, might actually help the singing, if we also work on the act of singing somehow.)
I’m kinda thinking that it comes down, in part, to being a more focused, active listener. When we work on building chords, learning melodies, etc. from a page, we might be listening passively rather than actively. The ear isn’t making any decisions; we’re just following orders as directed by the page. We get away with it on piano and mallet percussion because (unlike the voice or the trumpet) we don’t have to “hear” the note first in order to play it, so there’s a listening habit that many drummers (like me), keyboardists and fretted string players sometimes don’t develop. Two things made me think of the “active listening” factor as I watched the video: the student seemed to have the same kind of frantic guessing experience that I often get; and you demonstrated some GREAT listening skills nonstop through the entire video. Not just to the pianos, but to everything either of you said. You were focused and calmly comprehending and processing what you were hearing. That alone is a great lesson, taught by example. Sorry this comment got so long. Thanks for reading it, and for all the great stuff you post!
Interesting, and helpful. Even though i am a (hobbyist) harmonica player rather than piano, iv;e found quite a few of your videos really helpful In this video's case though, my situation is kinda the opposite - i.e. Instead of 'knowing the melody" (by voice) and trying to fit the chords, there are chords playing (and/or parts of the melody eg the lyrics) and i want to mimic the notes and/or harmonize with them and the chords - e.g. as harmony or in the lyric pauses. I'm getting sort of OK at this, and i can (if i'm paying attention) tell when the chords change, but I can't help feeling i'd be a lot better if i know instinctively what the notes and/or the chords are. Any hints or thoughts on this kind of "ear training"? :)
Great lesson.thanks
Did you record more ear training videos in this series? I have subscribed to your channel and searched but not found additional videos.
Go to my channel, click on the playlist tab and you will find an ear training playlist. I think there are three. Thank you for subscribing!
Beautiful.
Aimee, you have a delightful helper today. It was quiet easy to sing along and know when to change chord, but I have written a song called Sweet Misery, but I don't know how to make a tune up for it. Maybe I could try to I V chord too.
Love this! Was there ever Part 2?
So what happens if you find out you don't naturally sing on key? You didn't say. Is there no hope? Are there steps to take in order to learn to do so?! (I love music, but I just don't seem to have the ability to sing. Help!)
+mitchrodee try watching my video about tuning apps. See if that might be helpful to you. There is always hope. :-)
pretty informative Now I know what C and G7 refer to!!!! Many thanks...mysteries unravel...THANKS!!!
Watch "the cycle of fifths" next
I'll follow your videos.
I passed the test !!!!!! :D
Samy Samos nice!!!! Way to go!
Samy Samos Waite a minute . I passed the test too

Hi Aimee this is Brad, First things first thank you for all you've done so far you're awesome. I have really enjoyed your you tube vids. I have a question on this subject dealing with pitch and finding it. There is some one I know that I think can sing but they do not. Some times they are singing and its dead on and some times they sing are not. They seem as though they cant hear the clash between the notes. What are some tips to help me help them nail down the correct pitch and help build their confidence? Any pointers are welcome thanks
+Brad VanSlyke Brad did you watch my video called "men, you can totally sing high!"? See if that gives you some ideas. If not, email me.
I bow deeply before you, Madame !
That was Genius Teaching of the highest level I ever have witnessed, or even to fantasized about...it really was !
Concise and analytical explanation, and yet entertaining and spellbinding performance, beautifully related...at eye level with the audience.
No one could have resised to understand this topic profoundly, even if not listened closely or by a person with learning difficulties, that I'm 100% sure !
Well done, Mylady I have the deepest respect for your precious gift and how you use it.
Thank you for being available for literally anybody on a field which is much more important than usually thought of, that is music.
I wish you as many followers as humanly possible, and I will do my very best to spread it around as much as I can.
Sincerely, Ralph Cordon
P.S But *please* - you are talking about harmony and intonation.
May you *please, please* get your piano tuned?
Sorry for that little fly in the ointment :/
Awesome video! This is very helpful.
Great video! Do you have any advice for that group of people who do not pass the test. (I didn't read every last comment so maybe you answered this in previous comment). My niece loves to sing but does not sing on pitch and doesn't hear it. What do you recommend?
Never mind! I found your video about using tuner apps! Thanks
Nice, Ruth!! 🙌🏼
She should look for a company of singers.
Maybe she can join a choir.
Singing with others helps a lot.
I try to sing my notes but my voice is not a beautiful as yours . Also find the note then work with timing and feel or tempo with a song. There are certain keys I SING good in like G D E
I use an app called perfect ear which I have on my cell phone
Do you have book that has all your ideas in it for singing Singing is important ! YOU ARE RIGHT
Thanks for this great lesson
Well ..... A i m e e,
Your "Bill Evans favorite chords" you posted today was very interesting and quite a bit made some sense to me.... but the best thing it did was send me to hear. ( pun intended )
And you also convinced me to start to learn to read music. I started today.
I will always look at your new post ..... BUT ..... honestly I need to view many of your beginner post to be better founded for some of your post.
Thank you.
Ps. I passed ..... no Aced your test here. !
Hi Aimee,I like your video eversince I have learned more English and music.you speak very clear
Wonderful! But where is part 2? I can't find it
Look in my playlists on my RUclips profile. You’ll see the ear training one with all the videos under it
@@AimeeNolte Thank you!
thanks for reminder that all pro's start as begginers
A basic lesson with an inverted 7th chord?
really interesting test and pratice.love it.
Thanks your a lot of help to helping me figure out pitch better. I'm actually a rising country music artist on Facebook and trying to win a local idol contest and your helping a lot
Good luck, Jon!
I guess it's not called Ear Training for Beginners (Part 2)? Because I can't find it under that name. Thanks again!😊
Hey Aimee, thanks for this top notch quality content, will this series continue? Thanks a lot!
There are two more. Just search for my name and ear training
Thank you!
GREAT!!
What do you think about David Lucas burge’s ear training course?
Loved this. Anybody know where Part 2 is?
If you click on my channel profile and then go to playlists, it’s easy to find them. Thanks!
Great video! Where is part 2?
Go to my RUclips profile and click on playlists. You will find it along with the others. :-)
Play by ear, I think is the next note higher or lower and how much.
Hi Aimee! I can't find the "Ear training for Beginners Part 2" anywhere, where you add the third grade? Thanks!😊
+Sabrina Davila look at my playlists. They are all there. Thanks for watching!
Hi Aimee. I just watched your video on ear training and I need help. I play the harmonica and I play what I feel & when I feel it. I am going to try to learn to play Dobro style guitar. I feel that I can not hear the chord changes. In a 1 4 5 progression I need to play just on the 1st beat of each measure. Example: the song is in A so the exercise is like A 2 3 4, A 2 3 4, A 2 3 4, A 2 3 4, D 2 3 4 ...... and so on for 12 bar Blues. What is the best way to learn to hear the changes?
+Tony Stephens Watch my brand new video. Take some of the songs from the list and try to play along with them. Of course, they will need to be in the same key as your harmonica, but if you play guitar or piano, that would probably be just as helpful to help you hear the changes. You should definitely play either guitar or piano as well as the harmonica.
Tony Stephensnnnn
I think harmonicas are maybe used in a key 5 semi tones up from key song is in? But maybe that changes depending on what "position" the harmonica player is using? But I'm not a musician ;-)) So~~~~~~
Looking forward to Part 2 :)
It’s there...just look in my playlists. Ear Training playlist
Thank you! Is there a Part 2 or not yet?
Basil
And a part 3! :)
Aimee Nolte Music
Great! I will check them out tonight!
Thanks
I have an ear for hearing the chord changes and when they should change; but absolutely do not have a singing voice. I'm 51, and my singing voice goes completely out of key in the middle of a note. Sometimes I'll luck out and hit a note and be able to hold it, but then the next one goes out of tune. Kind of like when boys go through puberty and their voice cracks. I don't guess there's anything to be done, right?
Just be patient to yourself and try softly.
Maybe you see a doctor to check
whether your vocal chords are fine.
Hi, I was wondering where part 2 and the others are, or is it just the playlist we're supposed to do?
How to play by ear is a good next one...but also my new playlist called back to Basics is really helpful I think. “Ear training: make it fun, make it relevant” is another. Thanks for watching!
@@AimeeNolte Thank you, I will look at them and see if I can figure out a path to take.
I love this video...thank you so much ! But I cannot find part2! 😥
Go to my playlists
Aimee Nolte Music thank you so much madam! I've being playing the piano for almost 10 years but playing by the ear is something very hard for me. I always thought it was congenital. But thanks to you I realised it's not!
Thank you so much! Keep inspiring!
yes i feel it when you have to change the chord :)
Great video
Identifying bad chords seems easy but I suck hard at being able to tell if I’m singing in tune and as a result naming notes by ear
Will it work for the Batman theme song (1960s TV version)?
Thanks for this video !, it's Awesome.
play Master of Puppets with those two chords please
very impressive but can you.............................. oups wrong channel
hahahaha
nice work
Hey Aimee, you rock.
I pass the test queen 👑
Aimee, I thought of you immediately after finding this: ruclips.net/video/0-IRJsAi0ek/видео.html
The complexity of something as simple as "2-6-4-7" was mind boggling! I'm sure you'll agree after watching the first few minutes of the Barry Harris Master Class.
Hope you enjoy it.
Oh yeah tanks
I did test 2 but one i couldnt, becuase i voice is bad, but i can hear good, what does that mean
